I hate FB groups. No organization at all, hard to keep track of conversations as they become lost far more easily.
Not sure why people migrated to FB from forums which to me are generally better organized and easier to track conversations and topics.

Groups have a search function for both posts and members which actually works pretty well.

Several large, active forums I have belonged to over the years have become FB groups, but even there I find a lack of organization--posts cannot be gathered easily into categories, search function is limited, and actual information not easily accessed.
